These essential preventive services remove plaque and tartar buildup to help protect you from cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Dental exams also allow your provider to catch potential issues early, saving you time, money, and discomfort in the long run.

Regular dental cleanings remove harmful plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can’t eliminate, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease. A clean mouth is a healthy mouth!
Professional cleanings help eliminate bad breath caused by bacteria and tartar buildup. Walk out of your appointment feeling fresh, confident, and ready to share your smile with the world.
During your exam, Dr. Kurz or Dr. Chittenden will evaluate your teeth and gums for any signs of trouble, catching issues like decay or oral cancer early, when they’re easier to treat.
Your appointment will begin with our friendly team ensuring you feel relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Kurz or Dr. Chittenden will perform a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and oral tissues to check for any problems. We’ll also take X-rays if needed to get a complete picture of your dental health and identify any underlying issues like cavities or bone loss.
Next, one of our skilled hygienists will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth using specialized tools. We’ll focus on those hard-to-reach areas to give your mouth a deep, refreshing clean. Your teeth will then be polished for a smooth finish and brighter smile. Don’t worry. Our team prioritizes gentle techniques to keep you comfortable throughout the process.
After your cleaning and exam, Dr. Kurz or Dr. Chittenden will discuss your oral health and provide tailored advice to maintain your smile between visits. If additional treatments are recommended, such as fillings or a deep cleaning, we’ll explain your options, answer any questions, and work with you to schedule your next steps. Your oral health goals are important to us, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
